RIP Daul Kim - 1989-2009

arent there any counselors in the agency ? models work and they definitely get tired and stressed out and have issues.

having blog is great but having someone to talk to is great too. especially in the work environment. maybe its time agencies have some kind of counseling services. just to make sure all the models and people working in the agency are well.

The Daily Beast reports that Daul Kim, who was found dead in her Paris apartment last week in an apparent suicide, instant-messaged with a close friend on the morning of Thursday, November 19, just hours before her death.

She was depressed, she wrote, according to a transcript of the chat seen by The Daily Beast. She and her boyfriend had just had another brutal physical fight. She’d punched him in the face; he’d yanked her hair. But she was afraid to leave him, afraid to suffer the agony of being apart. The last time they separated, ***please see tFS community rules***. Her friend begged her to leave town, book a job, call her mother. No, she said. She’d miss her dog. She ended the conversation abruptly, saying she was going off to clean the house.​

^ How awful - just breaks my heart

Omg, after reading that I feel like there's much more to Daul's personal life than just work I wish I was a close friend of hers, I would gladly welcome her to my place with open arms and comfort her.

that friend must feel terrible..

@Ella Petrovsky: I just read the Daily Beast article. Whoa, speculation of physically abusive boyfriend, ***please see tFS community rules***, killer working hours plus cracking under pressures of fame & success? That certainly sounds like a lethal combination. I feel for this poor girl who just barely got out her teen years to have gone through all that. She was so talented and had a big, bright future ahead of her. I really hope she found her peace in the forever. You'll be tremendously missed, Daul.

Guys please do not write any comments about drugs - it is against tFS rules.

Weight comments should be posted in the Model & Celeb Weight Thread.

this is terrible at topshop they had to
take down the christopher kane video with her in
it...now they play the runway show

 

[WerbowyStegner]

^I know this may sound stupid but why did they take it down? I mean Ruslana's Nina Ricci commercials played after she died.. is it really that bad ? I thought it would be a nice way to remember Daul.. I wonder if any of her editorials or campaigns will still run.. I wish they would.. its like kinda of a 'in memory' of Daul ..

It's really nice of d management to do that.

 

[hautechild]

That's really lovely of d management.

Ah I adored her, in the way someone who's never met her but admired her can. She was really something else, and will be certainly missed. I wish the best for her family and friends. If there's such a thing as the afterlife, I hope she's found peace.

Just found out now about her death and it is such sad news

She was one of my favorite and so much more than just a pretty face, a fascinating and quirky character and she made me laugh in her interviews.

Goodbye Daul

We will miss you
